Frankston v Casey Scorpions

Featured Replies

Thanks KC without you I would never have had any interest in the Casey Scorpions.

Its always a breath of fresh air after watching an MFC game.

 

Anyone see the VFL 'highlight' from about 3:27 on the Melbourne page yet? Both teams working together for a Casey goal. Hilarious.

I thought I'd give a mention to Dom Barry and his development. Seems to be finding more of the footy and is developing nicely as a wingman. Very exciting for next season!

 

How bad is it that Tynan had the same amount, or more tackles then over half of the players playing on that stats sheet, and he was injured early in the first quarter.... not sure weather thats a positive for his development, or a really bad thing on the players he has more than, especially the mids/defensive players. Hmm, anyway, good Casey got a win

The thing i've noticed about Toumpas in the AFL so far is that he looks scared to take the game on, scared to make a mistake. Whenever he gets the ball he seems to look sideways or backwards to find an easy target.

With a bit more confidence he should be using his elite kicking skills to go long and direct i'd hope.

Yep - needs to take a leaf out of Kents book or Vineys

OR

We could lock him in a cage with Cale Morton - that will make a man of him!

An anecdote from the game:

In the second quarter with Casey kicking to the scoring end, Sam Blease picked up the ball on a HFF and pinged away at goal and just missed.

His opponent immediately got stuck into him and called him "hungry".

Quick as a flash, James Magner responded, "Yeah, but he's too f*^%en good for you!"

KC, what did you take from that anecdote? That Blease is well liked or that Magner has a quick tongue? I'm not sure much can be read into it, apart from the fact that I'd like to hear more MFC players sticking up for each other more often.

Nothing to read into it other than James Magner is good at slick banter on the field. It was very funny stuff.

I'd also take from it that his opponent may be doing medicine, seems very switched on. Can see what the MFC haven't noticed for 5 years.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
